He holds a bachelor's degree in physics (1996), a master's degree in physics (1998), a doctorate in physics (2003) and a postdoctoral degree (2003) all by the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Federal University of (UFABC), where he is a member of the Center for Natural and Human Sciences (CCNH) and coordinator of the Nanotechnology Laboratory Complex (CLN) linked to the National System of Nanotechnology Laboratories (SisNano). He was the Physicist responsible for the Line of Diffraction of X-Ray in Polycrystals (D10B-XPD) of the National Laboratory of Synchrotron Light (LNLS) from 2003 to 2009. He has experience in Physics, with emphasis on Structure of Liquids and Solids; Crystallography, and Optical and Spectroscopic Properties of Condensed Matter, working mainly on the following topics: structural characterization of materials through the use of X-ray diffraction by polycrystals and the Rietveld method (pharmaceutical inputs, materials with negative thermal expansion, fuel cells Of solid state, intercalation materials, among others), study of structural properties of materials submitted to high pressures. He is a member of the Technical Subcommittee on Organics and Drugs of the International Center for Diffraction Data (ICDD) of the International Union of Crystallography, effective partner of the Brazilian Crystallographic Association and member of its board, the Brazilian Society of Physics and the Brazilian Society of Research in Materials.
